i talked to everyone who was with lyndon johnson in the hospital still alive, in boston with lyndon johnson. congressman jack brooks. lyndon johnson's devoted secretary, kennedy's secretary, they're always seemed to be other sources that have been overlooked. when i was doing this suddenly i came across a fact. a secret service regulations that if you were a member of the presidential or vice-presidential detail and there was an incident involving the president or vice president or the assassination was an incident, if there was an incident you had to at the first available opportunity type up a report with every detail you remember as chief of the secret service. i asked the secret service -- never got a reply but in the johnson library, forty-four million documents and i went to the chief archivist and said the there exist in this library those secret service reports and she said yes. and suddenly delivered to my desk 23 secret service men in that motorcade and also were involved in dallas that day. also a reports and they were bound in a volume that is called not a formal volume but a ca

johnson. i'd like to show you just a page or two of the police report, just to confirm that. if you can see here, officer revis transported and booked johnson into the main jail for 594a3b vandalism and for 23103a reckless driving. and the report is kind of long so i'll go to another page of the charges. basically mr. johnson, he was actually filmed on video, for reckless driving and he deliberately swerved side to side, causing the vehicle to roll over and he was booked into the main jail and these are his charges, 594a vandalism over 5,000. the other thing that kind of disturbs me about that is that was a 16,000 pound vehicle -- truck. let me go on. so basically mr. johnson failed to appear for numerous hearings after i called him and told him that he would have some municipal code violations. only after a letter on may 10, informing mr. johnson that he needed to appear or his application would not be processed, he did appear. i informed him at that time he was in violation of the municipal

johnson. you're not requesting any -- you don't object to the denial of the bay bridge permit at all. >> no. i don't deny -- i mean i'm not denying the bay bridge permit. i can understand that. >> it's the existing one. >> this is my existing permit, and all my eggs is in one basket. >> i understand. >> i got no way of providing for my family. >> i get it. i think i get it. >> questions relating to -- >> correct. >> thank you. officer fenarus you have rebuttal as well. >> there's a letter i sent mr. johnson back on -- looks like april, informing him that if he failed to appear at his last hearing in may -- >> this is for the denied permit in bay bridge, right? >> this is for, yes, bay bridge. >> i think we're on the revocation of the nelson permit. so do you have anything on that, in terms of applications or -- >> you know, that fell into the same category as bay bridge, basically there were no fingerprints and once he was fingerprinted he was in vials of the municipal code. >> do you have any

miss johnson? >> i agree with that, the sfmta is one of the areas where we found the department whose money was going places that nobody was looking for. that is what i'm trying to talk about. and you can throw more money at it, but a lot of people who have been there have been there a long time running our state. and this is the result of where it's gone. if you are just throwing good money after bad. so you need to address the issues of where is the money going? and why are they not -- twitter got a tax break, a payroll tax break, but it was a lot more than that the public didn't hear about. we pay for a muni bus that is dedicated directly and only to where interstate twitter is located. they can afford to pay for a muni bus. they are also getting a police station, their own police substation. >> thank you, miss olague. >> it's easy to talk about the waste in upper management, but i think what we need is the political will to challenge that waste. and i think we have to look at it through the bud

how does gary johnson feel about obamacare? what is your reaction to this and the supreme court ruling. >> guest: a good example of what we need when it comes to healthcare is free market approaches to health care, and health care in this country is about as far removed from free market as it possibly could be. government restricts the choices we have available to us. there's no advertised pricing. when this whole debate and discussion started up over healthcare, i would not have health insurance to cover myself for ongoing medical need. i would have health insurance to cover myself for catastrophic injury and illness, and i would pay as you good in a system that was very, very competitive. where i had a myriad of choices that it don't have today because of laws that restrict the availability of choices, but that i would have many, many choices when it came to drugs, and that i make these choices, and that the government doesn't make these choices. when the whole debate and discussion started up about healthcare? i had envision

winston churchill but in regard to the lyndon johnson biography we are sort of in the same boat. i have been writing about lyndon johnson so long sometimes people ask me don't you get bored? the answer is the very opposite is true. i don't think of these books as being about lyndon johnson just like a power broker was not about robert moses. just to tell the life of a famous man from the moment i first thought about doing books i thought of biographies, i thought of biographies as a way of examining the great forces that shaped the times they lived in and particularly political power. why is political power so important? we live in a democracy. we have the power of the votes we cast that ballot boxes and the more we know about political power really works not as it is

johnson and johnson. i have the wisconsin senator ron johnson and former governor gary johnson. they will be on the show in a few minutes. >>> cruel and unusual, a couple of ballots getting downright nasty. first, a look at the schedule. the president is in d.c. all day. has to fulfill a campaign dinner event. romney will be with ryan in ohio but also has a virginia rally. you're watching "the daily rundown" only on msnbc. [ male announcer ] you like who you are... and you learned something along the way. this is the age of knowing what you're made of. so, why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in

gary johnson he's the libertarian candidate of course. one of the libertarians that you know is running under the republican take and ron paul in this ron paul resolute revolution as it was called. a lot of people saying you know even though he didn't even make it to the the by. annele debate that you know one of his main. goals was to get his message out and so going along with this it seems like there is a growing party a growing movement and this is the libertarian movement i think it's very interesting the way that governor johnson just put it which was you know this is what you know the libertarian party is or what a libertarian is which is you know being more liberal than obama and more conservative than romney so that libertarians are actually like fiscally responsible and socially accepting and that's just very interesting that he's presenting you know what libertarianism in his mind not the caricature the stuff that is you know sort of being touted along you know the regular mainstream media and we're you this is especially among

johnson and miss selby. please explain whether you think sit/lie is working to address public safety as intended across the city and how you would reform it, if indeed you would reform it? miss breed? >> i did vote yes on sit/lie. i had a number of issues in the upper haight that were just really unfortunate situations and i thought there needed to be some sort of solution to the problem. unfortunately it hasn't worked. we still have some real problems in the haight and we need to make sure that the social service agencies that deal with mental health abuse issues, that deal with drug treatment issues, those particular organizations are on the front line helping the folks who need the help. and the people that are and sometimes what we perceive as the "problems of the haight," are the ones that need the services the most and we need to make sure that the services are where they are needed. and they are needed in the haight and with sit-lie we just move the problem from one location to another. it's to look a

johnson said. [laughter] i usually listen, but i was following up on your idea immediately. >> guest: let me say one other thing particularly about "future perfect," but this b has been true of some of you concern my books. you write books because you want to entertain people or persuade them of a perspective on the world, or you want to tell them a rich story and help them understand the world. some books are written that way. every now and then you write a book, and "future perfect" is one of them, where you're trying to encourage people to surprise you, right? [laughter] you're trying to tell them enough stories and give them a framework they can use, and the hope is that people will read "future perfect" and go out and then build a kind of peer network in some other facet of my road map at all, butfiearssay, showne and you gd inthvein on wo too ttin 99-year-old grandmoo is watching this show, no doubt, is always teasing me about, that i never actually finished that ph.d.. so -- but i've written

i kind of felt sorry for johnson. i detested the war in iraq, but i thought that johnson had done a great job on domestic issues. he got through two landmark civil rights proposals, the public accommodations act and the boting rights act of 1964- 65. no other politician could have gotten those bills through congress. he practically twisted off the arms of southern senators to get the support out of them said that they could pass that bill. when he signed it into law, he turned to some of us who have been supportive of the law, he said, folks, there goes tht e south for the next 100 years. he was right. the solid south for the democrats became the solid south for the republicans. >> he said that during the signing ceremony? >> yeah, gentlemen, there goes the south. i had forgotten whether he set the next 50 years or the next 100. johnson knew the south better than any of us and what it took to run for office there. when i saw him resigning from running for reelection, the guy that ran earlier, i knew his heart was not

johnson. he was a big guy. he was a fitness guru. my assignment was to sit back and have my team do well. being in the marine corps, you don't have much option but to follow orders. they said that they were going to pronounce themselves from the taliban. this is how i believe that we won the war. i believe that by that, stopping the taliban movement, we won the war to stop terrorism. so that is what we are trying to do. it didn't take me long to realize that i have been in quite a few fights. you try to figure out that the training to start kicking in and you start doing your job after about 10 or 15 minutes. one thing after another, and everything starts to fall like a house of cards. everything that we relied on was not happening. everything was quickly falling like a house of cards. we needed to get our stuff together and take advantage of it. chavez was sitting in a vehicle and we figured out that we had to do something. we cannot just sit back and watch anymore. each time we were told no.

, with much of the nationals success. >> davey johnson is a true american. americans love winners. you hook up against johnson, he'll blow the socks right off of you. >> all right. frank howard who has no prediction on how far the nationals will go. as far as how their talent will take them. he aught to know. reporting live at nats park, scott broom, 9news now. >> the nats and davey johnson. they have a big fan pulling for them, that's for sure. >> a new twist on an old problem for metro today. standing water on the escalator this morning forces the system to close the station. we found some passengers waiting outside in the rain as trains passed them through the station beneath. >> they are repairing one, the other one won't run. they don't let people walk down the run that's not running and everybody stands in the rain waiting for one escalator. >> oh wow. okay. it took metro an hour to reopen those escalators. some passengers tweeted they were tired of waiting and walked instead. >> on a rainy day, that is -- mention for years, cover the escalators. rain
